How paldb sources its data

Values are the exact figures the game applies, not the rounded ones most guides quote.

Roll weight is the game’s own lottery weighting — higher means it appears more often when a random trait is rolled. It is a relative weight, not a percentage, and the game files contain no table converting it to one.

Other passives that change Defence

Hard Skin gives +10%. 10 passives beat it, the best being Sanctified Meat Shield at +50%. A higher number is better here.

All passive skills

Passives that move the same stat, nearest first: Stronghold Strategist (+10), Pal Defense Up Lv. 2 (+10), Defense Up Lv. 1 (+10), Pal Defense Up Lv. 3 (+15), Defense Up Lv. 2 (+15), Masochist (+15), Pal Defense Up Lv. 1 (+5), Pal Defense Up Lv. 4 (+20), Burly Body (+20) and Defense Up Lv. 3 (+20). A Pal can carry four, so the practical question is which four — breeding for passives covers how they are inherited.

There is an item for this one specifically — Implant: Hard Skin— which changes a Pal’s passive rather than leaving it to breeding.
